2023-24 NBA preview: Atlantic Division

Boston looking good

We move along, following the Pacific and Northwest.

BOSTON

C: Kristaps Porziņģis — play don’t worry, KP is for regular season support and attacking mismatches in the postseason. He’s for getting them there, Boston will be best if Porziņģis relaxes.
F: Jayson Tatum — 30-point scorer with 94 career postseason contests behind him, within his best chance yet to take the title primarily because Tatum is more adaptable than ever.
G/F: Jaylen Brown — must attempt to repack the pieces of Marcus Smart’s late-possession mastery, quick-post hits and zero dribbling.
G: Derrick White — didn’t stop last season, which only recently ended, able to play away from action and mind the store while Holiday seeks his Boston fortune.
G: Jrue Holiday — will develop strength in his position as an outsider: Holiday understands why the Celtics run what they run, he won’t let them get away with being less than the Celtics team which gave Jrue so much trouble in Milwaukee.
